Anschauliche Geometrie - A tribute to Hilbert, Cohn-Vossen, Klein and all other geometers.

Electronic Geometry Models

      The first collection of reviewed electronic geometry models is available online. This archive is open for any geometer to publish new geometric models, or to browse this site for material to be used in education and research.

      The geometry models in this archive cover a broad range of mathematical topics from geometry, topology, and to some extent from numerics. Examples are geometric surfaces, algebraic surfaces, topological knots, simplicial complexes, vector fields, curves on surfaces. In cases the archive accepts experimental data from numerical finite element simulations to allow validation of an experiment by others.

      All models of this archive are reviewed by an international team of editors. The criteria for acceptance are based on the
Mathematical Relevance
Technical Quality
Formal Correctness

The strict review criteria ensure that users of the EG-Model archive obtain reliable and enduring geometry models. For example, the availability of certified geometry models allows to perform validatable numerical experiments.

      All models are accompanied with a unique description. The most important models, the geometry jewels, are reviewed by the Zentralblatt für Mathematik.

See here for details on the submission and review process.
